Teacher Peer Observation (TPO) is a highly effective form of in-situ professional development for teachers. It is about teachers learning from each other through observation, affirming good practice, providing feedback, sharing ideas, and collaborating for improvement.

This webinar seeks to present some ideas for helping schools to get started on implementing TPO and making your school’s peer observation system as successful and effective as possible, thereby building professional learning communities, and fostering teacher professional development, support, and collegiality.
